In the Dark

Another riveting Stride mystery. A case from Stride's high school years involving his dead wife's sister's murder that was never solved. An old classmate comes to town writing a book about the unsolved murder and provides evidence and clues that may or may not help the cold case. Revisiting his past, Stride is plunged into murder, deceit, unanswered questions about his late wife, old resentments, and crooked colleagues. He & Maggie work to untangle the webs that have been cast for so many years while Serena is seemingly working with the enemy. Trying to piece the past and present together draws out a murderer, a stalker, & new suspects that throw Stride off his game.

Loved the book the first time I read it. It was called In the Dark! Exact same book, different title. So if you've already read In the Dark, save your money! I wish I had my $8.00 back.

This is a great book like all Brian Freeman's books are, but if you already have In The Dark, this is the same book with a different title, distributed in the UK.

You will not be able to put this book down or predict what is going to happen. This book is methodically written and well-executed. Wonderfully entertaining read, you will not be disappointed.

Brian Freeman has been climbing the ranks as one of my favorite authors over the past few years. His first three books really impressed me so I was eagerly anticipating IN THE DARK and had heard it was going to be the most emotional book of the Stride/Dial series. Often I find myself a bit disappointed after reading a long-awaited book because it just doesn't live up to the hype. IN THE DARK was NOT one of these books. Every Brian Freeman book has a "killer" prologue and this one screams chapter one as soon as you finish it. The book effectively builds multiple sub-plots at a good pace and mixes in razor-sharp psychological suspense, mystery, action, and twists. IN THE DARK challenged me to solve the multi-layered mystery then engaged an appreciation of how well all the pieces came together by the end of the book. It usually takes me about two weeks to read a novel but this gem was virtually pageless at 5.5 days. Brian Freeman has developed an endearing base of characters through vivid, descriptive scenes of first rate quality. If I had to choose a single new release to read from any author right now...it would be one from Brian Freeman. His collective series of IMMORAL, STRIPPED, STALKED, and now IN THE DARK elevates him to my #1 favorite author to read...hands down. I can't wait for the next one.....

I recently discovered Brian Freeman and have eagerly read everything he's written! I was looking forward to reading IN THE DARK for quite some time and Brian certainly did not disappoint! This is his best work yet. I found it VERY hard to put down. IN THE DARK was full of twists and turns and kept me reading long into the night! I recommend this book to anyone looking for a great page turner from a wonderful new author. Also look for "The Agency" by Aly O'Brien, Brian Freeman co-authors this book!
